Yes it would work... I use 3 stones only for my process... I do king 1k to set bevel... Then 6k king ... I do thick slurry, medium slurry and just water light strokes... My last stone is a Chinese river stone 12k ... These are really slow! So about 100 laps but i like it alot because it is really forgiving ... You can surely practice different strokes on it... I use slurry for first 50 laps...
Good luck
